Frequently Asked Questions

How do you ensure no data is lost or left behind during data center decommissioning?

Our experts physically inspect, log, and remove every single data storage device – from hard drives, to solid-state drives and external storage devices – in every piece of decommissioned equipment. All drives and storage media are destroyed using processes compliant with R2, NIST 800-88, IEEE and other leading standards. You receive full documentation to verify total data elimination, including a Certificate of Destruction and a full e-waste materials report to keep track of your sustainability footprint.

How do you ensure minimal disruption during the decommissioning process?

Our team works around your schedule, offering on-site, off-site and passive collection methods to avoid peak operational times. Passive collections include our tech bin option, with collection occurring as soon as you request it.

What certifications and standards do you comply with for data destruction?

We adhere to industry-leading standards, including R2, DoD 5220.22-M, NIST 800-88, IEEE, ISO 27001, and GDPR, ensuring secure and compliant data destruction. Certificates of Destruction are provided for every project along with a Certificate of Recycling and a full e-waste materials report.
